Octomore 08.2 8 Year Old Masterclass

From the famed Bruichladdich distillery on Islay, Octomore 08.2 is a powerfully peated single malt, renowned for holding the title of the world’s most heavily peated whisky. Matured for 8 years and bottled at a robust 58.4% ABV, this expression originates from barley grown on James Brown’s farm near Port Charlotte. Despite its intense smokiness, Octomore 08.2 delivers a surprisingly balanced character – an “iron fist in a velvet glove” – offering layers beyond the peat smoke. Expect a complex and lingering taste profile with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle sweetness amidst the signature Islay intensity.
